✦ Synopsis
Electron-impact excitation of CO plays an important role in planetary atmospheres and interstellar clouds. At the present time, serious discrepancies exist among excitation cross sections reported in the literature for this molecule. We measured electronimpact excitation cross sections for B 'Z+ +X 'Z+, C 'Z+ 6X 'F and E 'l%--X 'I+ states of CO at 100 eV impact energy using electron energy-loss spectroscopy.

Transition probabilities for the B 1 + -X 1 + and the B 1 + -A 1 electronic systems are presented for v = 0-4 and J = 0-150 in each electronic state. The functional form of the electronic transition moment for the B-X transition is taken from published ab initio results. The B-A moment is assumed to
The rotationally resolved absorption band of CO observed by optogalvanic spectroscopy between 16200 and 16300 cm-' was identified as the Q branch of the L'-B 'Z+ (u' unspecified-u" = 0) band. The molecular constants of the L' (v) level were determined as r,= 103211.81 kO.44 cm-', B,= 1.7535f 0.0048

Polarization labelling spectroscopy of the B 1 ← X 1 + and C 1 + ← X 1 + band systems in KLi reveals strong mutual perturbation of the B and C states. We show that both excited states can be described in a model comprising numerical IPA potentials for the unperturbed states and only 3 parameters to
